Ingredients (for the Bergamot Sweet)
- 12 bergamots
- 1 kg sugar
- 1 lemon
- 500 g water
Instructions
Rinse the bergamots and lightly zest their outer skin with a grater. Cut them into quarters and remove the inner pulp, discarding it so only the peel remains.
Place the bergamot peels in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain, add fresh water, and boil for another 10 minutes. Repeat this process 4–5 times to remove any bitterness. Drain well.
Roll each piece of bergamot peel into a spiral and secure it with a toothpick. Once all pieces are rolled, return them to the pot, add the sugar and the measured water. Simmer over medium heat for about 45–50 minutes, or until the syrup thickens.
Ingredients for the Chocolate Coating
- 250 g couverture chocolate
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions for the Chocolate Coating
Line a tray with parchment paper. When the bergamot spirals are ready, drain them slightly and let them cool. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and butter together in a bain-marie until smooth.
Using the toothpicks, dip each bergamot spiral halfway into the melted chocolate, ensuring a generous coating. Place them on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate sets. Once firm, remove the toothpicks.
A Sweet Note:
This Bergamot Spoon Sweet with Chocolate combines the fragrant, citrusy notes of bergamot with the velvety richness of chocolate. Each delicate, syrupy spiral promises a gourmet experience that’s as elegant as it is indulgent. Perfect for special occasions or as a unique edible gift, these treats are sure to impress!
